‘Jubilee’ is our brand new 16-seater Handybus modified to provide easy access. The bus will provide transport for anyone who would like to go shopping, or social meetings, but find it difficult or inconvenient to use public transport. if you have limited mobility ,need a bit of help to get to the shops, can’t manage the buses, or don’t have a bus service or a stop near you, we would be happy to try and help! 

The ‘Jubliee’ service will pick you up from as near to your home as possible and take you to the town centre and larger out-of-town shops. we ask just a £4 contribution to our costs for a return journey. The minibus is wheelchair and walker accessible. Our Volunteer Drivers are super friendly, very helpful , and follow (still!) Covid-19 safety measures.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning, going through the Shaw, Donnington, Andover Road and Wash Common areas to central Newbury , Waitrose, Sainsbury’s , Tesco etc.

Every Tuesday and Friday morning, going around Thatcham to central Thatcham and on to Newbury town centre.
